Rush Hour Jazz - Toby Greenwood

The son of a multi-instrumentalist, Toby has been a professional saxophonist since the age of 16 and although reared on jazz, he has made his living principally within the funk, R’n’B and session scene. Having worked in brass sections of just about every size and permutation you can think of, he makes particular use of this invaluable experience when arranging the brass in his various bands, exploiting the different blends and tonal possibilities available. Stylistically he’s been influenced by major American jazz composers such as Wayne Shorter and Charles Mingus and there are also tangible influences from Latin American and particularly South African jazz. ‘abso-blooming-lutely marvellous’ – John Brown Chill out with a drink or coffee after work for an hour’s jazz in Seven Bar Seven Bar 6-7/15pm Pay What You Feel donations.
